Is it appropriate to call this an "is" rather than a "was?"

If it continues to exist at all, this object's distance away from us is much greater now. Difficult to settle on a tense to use. Is there one which combines "as currently observed" with "historic relic." If you could view a Civil War battle unfold in the manner of a presently occurring event, how would you refer to it? Perhaps cosmologists have agreed to use the present tense as a convention of convenience. 2601:243:2680:CD78:5089:53B0:727F:141D (talk) 20:33, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
